Chapter 164 A Murder Occurs During the Ghost Festival
Only Su Mei thought that Chen Yu was Jiang Yi's bodyguard.
The two sat in the Imperial Garden for a while, with Su Mei basically talking, while Chen Yu just drank tea, admired the flowers, and occasionally responded.
Su Mei is happy as long as she is with Chen Yu. She doesn't care whether Chen Yu speaks or not, responds or not.
Even lunch was eaten by Su Mei and Shen Yu in the Imperial Garden.
Happy times are always short-lived, and soon it was getting dark. Today was the Ghost Festival, and Su Mei didn't dare to stay outside, and Chen Yu also felt it was time to go back to her room.
"Wait, someone come here!"
“Send Master Shen back to his room.”
Su Mei was foolishly happy to know someone's last name in just one day. But she wasn't too stupid. At least she knew that if she asked someone to follow her, she could find out where Chen Yu lived.
She even thoughtfully sent someone to deliver a large amount of things, and Su Mei didn't stop until Chen Yu's room was full.
Jiang Yi and Su Jiu also returned to the palace at this time, and Jiang Yi was smiling widely.
"Don't say that the folk life is more fun than the palace. It's much more fun!"
Su Ji looked at Jiang Yi who was smiling, and smiled unconsciously.
"I'm glad you like it. I'll take you out to play next time."
I don’t know if Jiang Yi didn’t hear it, but she didn’t respond to this sentence.
Su Jiu touched his nose, and the two soon parted ways.
When Jiang Yi returned to the room, he saw that Chen Yu had already lit the lamp. The weak candlelight shone through the window paper, creating a hazy feeling.
She rummaged through her sleeve and pulled out an exquisite hairpin.
But judging by the style, it seems to be used by men.
Jiang Yi ran two steps holding her skirt, then suddenly pushed open Chen Yu's door.
"I'm back!"
Chen Yu raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly, then calmly held the teacup and continued to sip tea.
As soon as Jiang Yi opened the door, she saw that Chen Yu's room was full of things. She looked through them and found that most of them were food and daily necessities.
You can tell at a glance that good silk and satin cost a lot of money.
The pattern and color were also carefully selected, otherwise it would not be so suitable for Shen Yu. Jiang Yi only took a glance and knew that the satin sent was very suitable for Shen Yu.
"Where did all these things come from?"
Jiang Yi was a little curious. How could Chen Yu go shopping? When she thought of the scene of Chen Yu shopping and choosing things, she felt a chill and shook her head quickly.
"Someone gave it to me."
"who?"
Who is so kind to give so many things, and they are all very valuable.
"Su Mei."
"Su Mei? Who is she? Why don't I know her?"
"Su Jiu's sister, the princess."
Princess? !
The princess actually gave Chen Yu so many things? Jiang Yi suddenly felt a small flame of anger rising in her heart, and then her reason flew away.
Could it be that this princess has taken a fancy to Chen Yu, or is there some hidden secret between Chen Yu and the princess? Su Jiu didn't even give her so many things, ahhhh! I'm going crazy!
"Chen Yu didn't realize that you're doing pretty well! You're so popular with women, and you're even a princess!"
"Do you want to be my consort?"
Jiang Yi deliberately tested Chen Yu.
But Shen Yu held the teacup with a look of enjoyment on his face and said nothing.
"Why? I have endless wealth and splendor."
"Are you moved?"
Jiang Yi talked for a long time, but Chen Yu didn't react at all. He was calm and composed, without any waves of emotion. Jiang Yi saw Chen Yu's calmness, and his heart was even more sour.
snort!
This blockhead!
Jiang Yi snorted, supported himself on the table with both hands, leaned down deliberately, and spoke in a low voice.
"Do you know where we went?"
"It's really fun. Su Jiu and I had a lot of fun. I'll take you there next time."
Snap!
The white jade porcelain cup in Chen Yu's hand cracked a tiny crack, and tea leaked out.
"That's great, I'm very happy today too!"
Click!
The jade hairpin in Jiang Yi's hand broke into two pieces.
"OK!"
After saying this, Jiang Yi walked out of Chen Yu's room without looking back. Chen Yu raised her sleeves and the door slammed shut. The two of them were secretly angry with each other, neither wanting to talk to the other.
The fighting time passed very slowly. Jiang Yi felt that time was passing too slowly in the room. He was about to go out for a walk. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"who?"
"Miss Jiang, we are from the eldest prince's palace and are here to bring you dinner."
It turned out to be dinner.
Jiang Yi stood up and opened the door.
There were two people standing outside the door, a man and a woman, to be more precise, a palace maid and a eunuch. Both of them were holding food boxes, and it seemed that one of them was from a stubborn person.
The palace maid smiled at Jiang Yi, called her "Miss Jiang", and then passed by her with a food box. The smell of the palace maid made Jiang Yi wrinkle his nose.
"This is stir-fried pork belly with three delicacies, this is boiled chicken, and this is..."
"Miss Jiang? Miss Jiang?!"
The maid Jiang brought out the dishes from the food box and helped Jiang Yi arrange them. When she turned around, she saw Jiang Yi's eyes staring straight at her.
"oh oh!"
Jiang Yi came back to his senses and said thank you.
The palace maid didn't care, thinking that Jiang Yi was just distracted. She bowed to Jiang Yi and prepared to leave.
"etc!"
The palace maid was stopped by Jiang Yi.
"This is for you. It's a little gadget I bought on the street today. Thank you for bringing me dinner."
The palace maid took the little thing from Jiang Yi's hand - a red rope - with a look of joy on her face.
"Thank you, Miss Jiang."
"You are welcome."
The maid's figure gradually walked away. Jiang Yi's eyes were heavy and her brows were twisted into a small knot. She had just sensed a ghostly aura from this little maid!
And it’s very strong!
Jiang Yi and Shen Yu did not originally belong to the human world. Shen Yu was from the demon world, and so was Jiang Yi. Both of them were not mortals, but just came to the human world to find someone. So when the palace maid arrived, Jiang Yi saw a layer of black air faintly appearing on her face.
This layer of black air is ghost energy!
The Ghost Festival is here, and tonight is the night when hundreds of ghosts roam around. If it weren't for the red rope given by Jiang Yi, this palace maid would have been haunted by evil spirits!
This night felt exceptionally long. A layer of black air filled the palace, and even the faint sight of ghosts. Most importantly, the chilling wind never ceased blowing.
The next morning, shocking news came.
A palace maid died!
When Jiang Yi arrived, many people had surrounded the place in three layers, making it impossible to get in or out.
"How could he die? He was fine last night!"
"I don't know. Judging from the way he died, I'm afraid it wasn't..."
"Shh...don't say that!"
As soon as Jiang Yi arrived, the palace maids and eunuchs made way for her.
After all, he is the distinguished guest of the eldest prince.
I saw the palace maid's body lying quietly, her face was very shriveled and her body was completely shriveled.
This is......
